About Me

YOSSI & YERACHMIELBIOSYerachmiel Ziegler Known all over the world as an artist that dedicates his life and work to G-d. His spiritual melodies and uplifting tunes bring faith and belief into peoples lives. His work is held in the highest regard when it comes to the art of music. Yerachmiels young appearance may throw some people off, but in reality he is wise beyond his years. His talents range from playing various musical instruments to singing various styles. He has traveled to many different countries and has preformed all over the world. But when asked about it, he just shrugs and says: "Little by little, one travels far" Yerachmiel's music stems from the deepest roots of tradition while touching all realms of modern culture. With a repertoire ranging across folk, rock, a cappella, world, pop, metal, klezmer, and bluegrass, he attracts an eclectic audience all around the globe. Growing up in New York, Yerachmiel began performing at an early age and then went on to entertain in venues such as Central Park and Greenwich Village. His experience performing with great talents such as Shlomo Carlebach, Matisyahu, MBD, and Avraham Fried, as well as newer artists such Moshav Band, Blue Fringe, Pey Dalid, and Aaron Razel, has further enabled him to deliver a captivating performance time and time again. Yerachmiel's on-stage presence creates the perfect balance between soul-searching and entertainment. Currently, he is living in Israel where he creates excellent shows for welcoming crowds. Come with an open mind and leave with a full spirit! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~ Yossi Rotbard Debuting at his parents Shabbos table at the tender age of three, Yossi would entertain a constant flow guests from far and wide coming to witness this child-prodigy perform his very own improvisations of the Alef-Beis. When not shopping or eating Unchicken-Nachos a Caravan of Dreams, Yossi can be found within the walls of the beis medrash tearing apart a piece of brisker-torah (JB that is) or pimpin in a convertible BMW-a rental. His greatest moment was when Paul Simon asked him to come on stage and fill in for Arty, but due to an unnatural obsession with U2, Yossi was unable to perform with anyone but Bono. Unfortunately, before Bono could present his proposal, his alarm clock rang. When asked why he chose to become a rock star. Well, he wisely explains, it was better than the alternative being a cashier at Pathmark.Although Yossis childhood years remain a mystery, rumor has it he was born on a collapsing high riser backstage during the Amsterdam guitar Trios rendition of Vivaldis Spring II Largo in E minor.

Band Members: Yossi & Yerachmiel is a singer-songwriting duo who draws their roots from musicians such as RShlomo Carlebach, Moshe Yess, and Simon and Garfunkel. These two young guitarists tastefully mix traditional and contemporary Jewish music to create a sweet vocal harmony that is at once captivating and inspiring. Having spent time playing music in both Israel and America they are able to capture the sound of the heart of Jewish music while appealing to the American ear. Yossi and Yerachmiel first met as children in the Tzil VZemer Boys choir at the age of eight years old. They lost contact during their teenage years as each traveled his own journey of self-discovery. At the age of twenty one they reunited as chavrusos in Yeshivah Ohr Sameach. A relationship initiated by Torah study blossomed into one of musical accompaniment as their individual musical talent quickly reunited and merged forming a single melodic soulful sound. They begen performing as a group and after a couple of years spent perfecting this sound, they have created melodies complimented by harmonies that soar with a love for Judaism, Torah, and Eretz Yisroel. Simple, soulful, stirring, soothing always exciting and energetic their original compositions have a way of making immediate contact with a listeners heart. If youd like to feel the vibrations of todays Jewish musicthen simply give a listen to the youthful and hopeful sounds of Yossi & Yerachmiel.
